I didn't know that brand, but its backcountry skiing collection seems impressive.
What sets the Brant 35L apart from other brands?

DEUTER GUIDE 35+ ALPINE BACK SYSTEM VARIFLEX HIKING CAMPING BACKPACK

NEW, JUST DIDN'T USE IT
IT JUST SITS IN THE CLOSET, 2 YEARS
MINE IS BLACK AND GRAY

ASKING $100.OO
Jack,
That is a really nice pack, at a very fair price. I checked EBay and new. Then, my brain kicked in and told me all I use is my ancient Lowe Contour 35, I have a really nice Russi 45 I still have not used!
You almost had me! If I needed a pack in this class I would be contacting you.
I hope you will be skiing this season, I always enjoy your posts.

Higgs Boson Ski Pack-Alpine Luddites: It doesn't have any a lot in fancy pockets. I don't even use it for its designed purpose, it took over a year to get! It's bombproof, hold stuff and beautiful.

Those Luddites are a neat looking bag. The customization is a nice touch. It’s simplicity and clamshell feature are very similar to my GoRuck bag that I use for short days.

I like the hydration system. It’s setup in a way that you can run a hydration bladder without the tube or bite valve freezing. The harness system is also really stable without encumbering your stride, and it has a ton of easily accessible pockets on the frontside to minimize the need to take it off and go through the back compartment.

Thanks for your feedback!
I'd like to consider the USWE when I buy an additional backpack next.
